"Long Chen, we don't need to get involved in this anymore. You just need to make the plan. Even that senior trusts you. We, the battlefield rookies, have no say in that matter." Luo Ning said with a smile.
Originally, the disciples of Luo Sect didn't know Long Chen well enough. Although Long Chen became famous in the Divine Dao Contest, not many people actually saw him.
At that time, the Immortal Dao Contest had ended, and only Luo Bing and Luo Ning followed Master Dongming to the Divine Academy to watch the battle. Since they were disciples of the Immortal Academy, it was inconvenient for them to visit, so they had only heard about the battle but never witnessed it.
If they had previously harbored some doubts about Long Chen, now they could only admire him wholeheartedly.
At Luomen's headquarters, he drew Chu Yang and fought against the deputy leader of the Third Great Alliance, but the other side didn't even dare to utter a single fart.
But today, arriving at the most dangerous battlefield of the demonic demons, the mysterious elder's tone toward Long Chen shocked them.
As they passed through the Beast Passage, the terrifying fourth-tier magical beast, the red-armored Earthwalking Dragon, actually worshipped Long Chen, letting him walk right past it. They no longer doubted his abilities at all.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Long Chen smiled slightly and said, "Alright then, since everyone trusts me so much, I'll share my own opinion."
I'm a bit bolder than others and have a little better appetite, so I prefer simple, direct, and effective methods.
On the way, I did a simple combat assessment, and I felt we could just eat the meat directly.
But before we start eating, I need to explain the formation. The combat-type disciples of the Xiaoyao Alliance and Luo Sect are divided into four teams, led by Mu Qingyun, Li Cai, Luo Bing, and Luo Ning.
Below each team, there are four squads, trying to make the four squads evenly balanced. This way, coordination will be much easier.
Also, I checked and saw that there are few strong wood-element and water-element players in our team. Why is that? "
Because wood-element and water-element powerhouses aren't strong in individual combat, most alliances are reluctant to recruit them." Luo Ning explained.
Long Chen couldn't help but shake his head: "Both wood-element and water-element experts have powerful healing abilities. While disciples competing in the inner courtyard may not be very useful, on the battlefield, they are one of the team's greatest security guarantees and indispensable." "
There are quite a few wood and water cultivators, but because these two types consume so many resources during training, truly outstanding wood and water cultivators are extremely rare.
Once such a person rises to prominence, naturally people will compete for them. However, with our current situation, we still can't cultivate strong wood and water cultivators. Therefore, among the wood and water cultivators in our alliance, their cultivation paths focus mainly on defense and secondary offense, with very few practicing medical skills. Luo Bing explained.
Because wood and water cultivators cultivate much more slowly compared to other cultivators, and these two generally focus on control, their attacks are not very strong, and they consume twice as many resources. Therefore, the major alliances generally do not want to train so many wood and water cultivators.
So the total number of wood cultivator and water cultivator disciples from Luo Sect and Xiaoyao Alliance is only thirteen, which is quite rare.
Long Chen shook his head inwardly. Saying wood cultivators lacked combat power was because they had never seen a true wood cultivator. Wood cultivators like Chu Yao and Liu Ruyan, whether fighting one-on-one or in groups, would make anyone tremble at the sight of them. Not to mention anything else, just the vast, ocean-like primordial power alone was enough to make one despair.
However, one thing Luo Bing was right about is that wood and water cultivators do consume much more resources than others. However, on the Tianwu Continent, Long Chen has Zheng Wenlong's support. Whatever resources he wants, he gets them and basically doesn't worry about them. So supporting Chu Yao, Liu Ruyan, and the medical experts of the Dragon Blood Legion has no pressure.
But things are different here. The Immortal Realm has abundant resources, but even more cultivators, making the competition too fierce. Long Chen now misses Zheng Wenlong even more.
Logically, when Long Chen saw through the eyes of the dragon clan's powerful figures, those people from Tianwu Continent—except for the older generation of powerhouses—were all gone. They must have all ascended. Long Chen desperately hoped to meet Zheng Wenlong.
However, to find Zheng Wenlong, he must first leave Lingxiao Academy. However, the Immortal Realm is vast and full of dangers. Long Chen must accumulate enough strength within Lingxiao Academy before daring to step into the Immortal Realm.
"Starting today, all wood cultivators and water cultivators must switch to healing spells. Otherwise, on the battlefield, they simply won't be able to act freely.
Also, how many of us are good at archery? Stand up and let me see. As
Long Chen finished speaking, more than a dozen people stood up. These were all formidable archers.
"It's a bit few, but there's nothing we can do. Let's make do for now. Once our guild's ranking improves, we'll need to recruit more outstanding archers and medical experts in the future."
Long Chen looked at the map, pondered for a moment, then pointed to a stretch of valley and said, "
Then let's choose this place for our battlefield trial."
When Mu Qingyun, Luo Bing, and the others saw where Long Chen had chosen, they couldn't help but gasp:
"Rocky Valley, Long Chen, is this really okay? This is a three-star dangerous area. Where
Long Chen pointed out, there were three blood-red star patterns—those were danger levels.
On the Demon Battlefield, many places are marked with danger levels. Usually, when trial participants come here for the first time, they choose places without stars.
In other words, the demons there were all first-tier, with combat power equivalent to the human Transformation Realm. Now that they were all Divine Fire Realm experts, killing first-tier demons was naturally not dangerous.
A one-star dangerous zone means that a second-tier demon will appear in that area, posing certain dangers. Therefore, generally, only those who are absolutely confident in their own strength will choose a one-star dangerous area.
Two-star level monsters basically wouldn't consider it, but Long Chen actually let everyone enter a three-star dangerous zone on their first attempt. In other words, all the demons here are second-tier demons, powerful in combat, prone to casualties, and might even be wiped out.
After Luo Bing finished asking, seeing Long Chen smiling at her, Luo Bing suddenly blushed, recalling what she had just said.
From the start, she had said everything would be left to Long Chen to arrange, so raising this question now made even her own somewhat embarrassed.
"Don't worry, let's try a three-star dangerous spot first. If it doesn't work, we'll go to something simpler." Long Chen said.
After the discussion and confirming the formation, everyone set out directly. Before entering the teleportation array, a powerful figure checked the nameplate. When they learned that Long Chen and the others were entering the three-star dangerous area, the expert was startled and informed them of the danger there. Only after Long Chen insisted did they let them through.
The teleportation array trembled as Long Chen and the others appeared in a valley. At the core of the valley, a formation was enforced, and through the formation, they could see figures wandering in the distance.
The figure stood several zhang tall, resembling a giant ape, but its entire body was hairless. Even from a distance, one could smell its bloodthirsty scent, sending chills down one's spine.
"Brothers and sisters, come on, take out your bowls and chopsticks, ready to eat meat!" Long Chen looked at the disciples, nervousness in his eyes, and couldn't help but smile.
"Sss!"
Long Chen was the first to dash out of the barrier. With a flick of his finger, a beam of light shot out, exploding in the air. In that instant, demons within hundreds of miles were drawn by the light and roared as they charged toward him.
"Third Brother..."
Long Chen suddenly attracted hundreds of alien demons to attack. Mu Qingyun's face changed. Long Chen was trying to kill people one by one, wouldn't that be better?"
